7.30 – 9.45 pm

Explore one of Queensland’s grandest and most beautiful Victorian-era cemeteries under the stars with the people who know it best.

The Women of South Brisbane Cemetery is a special night-time experience. You will discover some remarkable Real History as we visit select graves to hear the stories of women whose lives and deaths (be they tragic or inspirational) reflect the history of women in Queensland. Everything you hear will be factual and sourced from historical records.

This is a great way to safely see the cemetery at night. Your friendly guides are award-winning cemetery historians Tracey Olivieri and Chris Dawson, who will be more than happy to chat with you and answer your questions during the tour.

The Women of South Brisbane Cemetery is part of the Queensland Cemetery History Tours range – Brisbane’s best and most affordable cemetery night tours.
